Phase 1b Safety Study of Xevinapant, Weekly Cisplatin, and RT in Participants With Unresected LA SCCHN (HyperlynX)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of Xevinapant when added to weekly cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in the treatment of participants with unresectable locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, suitable for definitive chemoradiotherapy.

Experimental: Xevinapant + Cisplatin + IMRT Participants will receive first 3 cycles of xevinapant once daily in combination therapy with weekly cisplatin and radiotherapy and 3 cycle of monotherapy of xevinapant from Day 1 to Day 14, per 3-week cycle (Each cycle is of 3 weeks). |
Drug: Xevinapant
Participants will receive first 3 cycles of xevinapant once daily in combination therapy with weekly cisplatin and radiotherapy and 3 cycle of monotherapy of xevinapant from Day 1 to Day 14, per 3-week cycle (Each cycle is of 3 weeks).
Other Names:
Drug: Cisplatin
Participants will receive weekly cisplatin for 7 weeks on Cycle 1 Day 2 (C1D2), C1D9, C1D16, C2D2, C2D9, C2D16, and C3D2).
Radiation: intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
Participants will receive 70 Gray (Gy) of IMRT in 35 fractions, 2 Gy/fraction, 5 days/week

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants with Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)-like events [From Day 1 up to 5 Weeks]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Treatment-Related AEs (TRAE) [From Day 1 up to 18 weeks (Each cycle is of 3 Weeks)]
- Absolute changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [From Screening up to Cycle 3 Day 4 (Day 67)]
- Objective Response (OR) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria as assessed by Investigator [Time from first administration of study intervention until Progressive Disease (PD) or death, whichever is earlier assessed approximately up to 1.6 years]
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) According to RECIST version 1.1 Criteria as Assessed by Investigator [Time from first administration of study intervention until PD or death, whichever is earlier assessed approximately up to 1.6 years]
- Locoregional Control (LRC) According to RECIST version 1.1 Criteria As assessed by Investigator [From randomization to the earliest between PFS event (progression at the site of the primary tumor or the locoregional lymph nodes) or End of Study assessed approximately up to 1.6 years]
LRC is defined as the time from date of the first treatment until date of the first occurrence of progression at the site of the primary tumor or the locoregional lymph nodes.
- Time to Subsequent Systemic Cancer Treatments [From randomization to the earliest between PFS event (progression at the site of the primary tumor or the locoregional lymph nodes) or End of Study, assessed approximately up to 1.6 years]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Participants having an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Score (ECOG PS) of 0 - 1

-
Participant should be able to swallow liquids or has an adequately functioning feeding tube, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy in place. For participants requiring liquid nutrition at baseline or during the study including the follow-up period, access to liquid nutrition supply should be ensured
-
